Troubleshooting Common Hytale Server Issues
Fix common Hytale server issues including connection errors, slow loading, QUIC network problems, and I18nModule errors.
Here are common Hytale server issues and how to fix them.
Failed to Connect to Server
Common error messages:
- "Failed to Connect to Server. The host may be offline or behind a strict firewall"
- "Could not connect to any available address"
- "An unexpected error occurred"
I18nModule.getMessages (I18nModule.java:315)
Change Your System Language (I18nModule Fix)
The most common cause of the I18nModule.getMessages error is a language or locale mismatch on your system.
Windows:
Open Language Settings
Go to Settings → Time & Language → Language & region.
Set Display Language
Set your Windows display language to English (United States).
Set Regional Format
Under Regional format, select English (United States).
Restart Hytale
Close and relaunch Hytale completely.
macOS:
- Open
System Settings→General→Language & Region - Set Primary language to
Englishand Region toUnited States - Restart Hytale
Disable Your Firewall
If the error mentions "strict firewall," your Windows Firewall or antivirus may be blocking the connection.
Open Firewall Settings
Search for Windows Defender Firewall in the Start menu.
Turn Off Firewall
Click Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off. Select Turn off for both Private and Public networks.
Test the Connection
Try connecting to your server.
Add Hytale as an Exception
If disabling the firewall fixed the issue, re-enable it and add Hytale as an exception: Allow an app through firewall → Allow another app → Browse to Hytale → Check both Private and Public.
Sync Your System Clock
An incorrect system time can cause authentication failures.
Windows: Right-click the clock in your taskbar → Adjust date/time → Enable Set time automatically → Click Sync now.
macOS: System Settings → General → Date & Time → Enable Set date and time automatically.
Check Your Connection Details
- Confirm the IP address and port are correct
- Check for typos
- Verify the server is running in the XGamingServer Panel
Slow Connection / World Not Loading
Symptoms:
- Internet is stable (YouTube works fine)
- Singleplayer loads normally
- Server connection is very slow or world won't load
- Friends can see you move but you can't do anything
- You're on Windows
Cause: Some Intel and Realtek network drivers have issues with QUIC, the modern protocol Hytale uses. This affects both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
Quick test: Connect an Ethernet USB dongle. If that fixes it, your network driver is the issue. Try the solutions below.
Solution 1: Disable Priority and VLAN
Open Network Properties
Open Start Menu, type View network connections. Right-click your connection → Properties → Configure → Advanced tab.
Disable the Setting
Find Priority & VLAN and set it to Priority & VLAN Disabled.
Test the Connection
Click OK, wait for your connection to restore, and try connecting to your server.
Solution 2: Disable Segment Coalescing
Open Network Properties
Same as above — navigate to the Advanced tab.
Disable Coalescing
Set Recv. Segment Coalescing (IPv4) to Disabled. Set Recv. Segment Coalescing (IPv6) to Disabled.
Test the Connection
Click OK and try connecting.
Solution 3: Disable Power Saving Features
Set the following to Disabled in the Advanced tab:
- Advanced EEE
- ARP Offload
- Energy-Efficient Ethernet
- Flow Control
- Green Ethernet
Click OK and try connecting.
Solution 4: Full Network Reset
⚠️ Warning: This is invasive and may require reinstalling drivers to reverse.
